The New York Journal Of Commerce,
replying 20 correspondent who asks for
information as to the origin of good
morning" and good night" says:
Webster defines the meaning of good"
in such phrases as "good day." good
night" etc, as "wish ng we'll" This
was undoubtedly the origin of the ex
pressions: "May this be a good chat
is we'll, a happy, prosperous) day to
you" Or, II wish you we'll this night.
May it be peaceful, a restful,
secure season to YOU" The use
of such greetings, which were prayers
or bendlctions, is very ancient,
running far into past centuries.
Some have tried to derive the adjective
from the name of the deity. 1t may be
true that God and good have a common
origin, but there is no evidence what
ever that the latter came in use in pla e
of the former in these situations. 1t is
common to describe goodbye as a
corruption or abbreyiation of "God be
with you;" but this is only conjecture,
as the abbreviated form is in the earliest
greetings of this character and there is
no proof that "God be with you" was in
common use before "good bye" We
presume it had the same origin as good
day." good morrow" and the like. 1t
meant "fale thee we'll, good stand by
thee" that is, ''abide with thee" Per
haps our correspondent will thank us for
recalling the use Of the words he quotes,
by Anna Letitia Barbauld:
Life We've been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather;
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear;
Perhaps twill cost sigh, a tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not Goodnight" but in some brighter
cline
Bid me GOOD morning.

The accompanying handsome picture
gives q good idea of how the great tower
to be erected at the entrance to the
grounds of the Paris E, position of this

9s4 feet high. 1t doesn't seem great

when it is measured toward the clouds.

A cowboy named Hogan, who is in
Atlanta, Ga, disposing of bronchos,
one day recently saddled an unbroken

saddle, started out for ride. The pony

two found himself near the East Ten

On his return ride two fine grey horses,
drawing close carriage, dashed past
him at break neck speed. There was no
driver on the box and the lines were
dangling around the running horses
heels. A second after they came into
sight, they passed Hogan, and as they
went by lady thrust her head out the
window and called for help. Hogan
immediately turned and gave chase, at
the same time unwinding lasso. His
pony was fleet of foot and in a short
race overlook the carriage. AS he came
alongside the team the cowboy circled
his lasso around his head time or two
and then let it go. The coil flew out and
settled down around one of the carriage
horses heads. All this time the race
was going on, but the instant the rope
settled around the horses neck Hogan
drew in his pony, and with sudden
jerk the taut rope stopped the team
in its mad flight.

connection with the regatta sugges-
ton. The suggestion originated on
one of the warships in port, and
surely no one will be so mean as to
accuse them of wishing to lessen in

Then, moreover, the suggested race
and the projected drill need in no

The drill willnot commence until 2 80

which time the race will have ended.

MILITARY FORCE.

1t seems to be the opinion Of
many intelligent men that the coun-
try must have a military force, and
therefore a law to regulate it. For
our part, we think differently. We
do not admit that the country needs
a military force of any kind. For
repelling a foreign foe, any force
that we can possibly raise would be
utterly futile. The very idea of an
army for such a purpose is too
childishly ridiculous to be laughabIc.
For internal purposes, We have no
need of a military force, nor are We
likely to have. The people of these
islands-natiye and forcign-are q
quiet, law-respecting, law-abiding
people, and do not require an army
to keep them within legal bounds.
About the only military force that
there is any plausible excuse for
maintaining is squad of thirty Or
forty men, perhaps, as guard for
the palace and the iail--a force
sufficiently strong for those pur-
poses, and too weak to do any mis-
chief under any circumstances.
What we do need, in lieu OF an
army, is an efficient police force
and the expenditure upon the latter,
additional to the usual amount, of
what is proposed to be devoted to
the former, would probably be sutii-
Gent to bring the police, in numbers
and efficiency, up to the required
standard. 1t has been asked, what
are we to do in case of emergency,
which may possibly arise, such as
riot? We answer, do what they do
in some British colonies under SINH
lar circumstances swear in private
citizens as special constables for the
time being. We have seen thou
sand men come forward at few
minutes notice, in small town that
contained less than seven thousand
souls all told, volunteer their SER
vices, and in less than an hour
crush out real riot. We have con-
fdence that the people of this coun-
try are always prepared to do
similar thing under similar circum-
stances.
While holding this view, that a
military force is an entirely unneces-
sary part of our Governmental sys-
TEN, we would not prevent the peo-
pie, if they feel SO disposed, band
ing themselves together and regu-
larly meeting for military drill, etc.,
within propere restrictions, provided
always that they are willing to pay
the expenses thereof.
But, as stated at the commence
ment of this article, it is the opinion
of some intelligent men that the
country should have military force,
and in accordance with this opinion
two distinct bills are now before the
Legislature for the creation and
regulation of such force. Well, .
if a majority of the members Of the
Legislature concur in that opinion,
and believe an army necessary, it is
